Hey there. Hope everyone is doing well. Honey's still typing my posts for me. I am beginning to feel a little less pain, but still not sitting. I did another treatment today and am to try sitting after a few days. My computer friend is coming over this weekend to help sort out whatever it was that I did, so I hope to slowly catch up with visiting your blogs, commenting and answering emails.
Today I have a 6x6 loose leaf art journal scene. The Paper Shelter's current challenge is to include a water element and since I've used one of their images, this one needed to be posted.
Here I'm showing printed out bare design that I created in PSE using digital elements from both The Paper Shelter and Polkadoodles.
And the finished piece after I did my freehand drawing and coloring of the background. Honey had asked me to make this a while back, which was when I created the digital portion of it. Bit by bit, I did most of the coloring. He has been such a support to me lately (and always), so I finished it up for him.
I was going to hang it as a home decor deco, but he ordered a frame and now it's hanging with his other golf-themed stuff in his man cave.😍 Most everything in the scene has a sentimental significance to Honey. That's him and his lifelong friend Danny, who passed in 2019. The butterfly is because Danny had a butterfly tattoo. They played golf together for decades and always brought plenty of drinks and snacks. And you might be thinking, seagulls? Well, down here on the Texas Gulf Coast, seagulls are a common sight even 5-10 miles inland, in big store parking lots (especially those with fast food drive-thru restaurants) and even out on the golf courses, scavenging for food.
SUPPLIES USED:
Springhill Digital Card
The Paper Shelter Pre-coloured Gnome with baskets: Enjoy the Summer
Polkadoodles Pre-colored Gnome in Cart: Golf Cart Gnome for Men Color Bundle
Cottage Cutz Seagulls in Flight dies
Colorants: Colored Pencils, white and black gel pens, Ebony drawing pencil, markers
And speaking of food, it's time to share some food for Rain's Thursday Art & Dinner Date. This week we tried using her recipe for Thin Crust Pizza and it was delicious topped with bacon, pepperoni, mushrooms and cheese. We had also made some vegetable soup and enjoyed pairing it with the pizza.
Then for this week's dessert, good old chocolate pie! The garnish on top is a mix of toasted coconut, dark chocolate shavings and chopped walnuts. I don't have a recipe link because Honey used his mom's. But it's very similar to this recipe.
Thanks for visiting! XOX

Super cute little gnomes! Awesome job! Thanks for joining us at Try it on Tuesday!
Gnomes on the golf course...how adorable!! Thanks for joining the fun and playing along with our sport/hobby challenge over at Cardz 4 Guyz!! Oh and I loved the foodie update...that pie especially looked amazing with the trio of toppings!!
This is such a cute journal page and I love gnomes. I have never seen one on the golf course though but there is time yet and I never say never really.
Love how you have not been afraid of the white space, the figures look absolutely wonderful and those birds in the sky are fabulous.
I am not sure what is the matter but I hope you start to feel much better soon.
Thanks for joining us at Art Journal Journey

Love the card, what a great sentiment for a golfer! And that pizza is making me drool, my exactly perfect choice of toppings. Thanks for sharing with us at Cardz 4 Guys!
Addin that seagull makes this page perfect for Neet's AJJ challenge. What a fun take on fur and/or feathers. Of course with those beards and mustaches those gnomes are practically furry themselves. Smile. Thanks for sharing this at AJJ. And I hope your computer problems get taken care of too. That pie looks delicious, and that pizza too. It's making me want a bedtime snack...Happy rest of your weekend. Hugs-Erika

This card really made me smile! I love a good pun! Thanks for joining in our challenge over at Polkadoodles. Good luck!
Hello Aimeslee, I just love this - the gnomes are marvellous (and I love how they have such special significance) and wonderful how your scene will be displayed! My cards end up in boxes rarely to see the light of day again. Great scene creating with the background as well.
Thanks for joining in with us at Colour Crazy Craft Challenge, hope to see you again. Sarah - DT
P.S. - Your pizza looks delicious as well - we have a family Saturday pizza evening and I make them from scratch. Very enjoyable!
Your gnome card is super fun and creative, Amy!And your food looks delicious!
